It's trivial for HN to record your keystrokes. Any application that can read your keys can record your keystrokes - its fundamental to how software works. You wouldn't be able to write a game if you couldn't. The distinction

None of the information on the website I would argue is a dark pattern. The remote server knows my IP address? Yes that's how the web works. The server knows my window's resolution? Well I think thats very useful information for t

Thats the default for go projects. Go imports are repository strings (e.g.): import ("github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql") so it's standard to have the library files in the root directory.

Most likely not. I've seen Iranian sources claim that the 10 point plan is violated[1]. However I (1) do not know about Iran's government structure and (2) I can only trust other sources that I believe are trustworthy. However I t

1. The version of the ceasefire that you are got third hand from Twitter or American news outlets are not accurate. 2. Iranians can't read. Which do you think is more likely?

Google knows how to do research - and at the very least lets other people figure out the products, and then becomes the #3 or #4 player. Both GCP and Gemini are products of this. Modern cloud was arguably built by Google (think Chubby, GFS,

No disrespect to the Google Deepmind team, but I meant it as a meme. I do not believe most Google employees work 2 hours a day. The Google Deepminds are incredibly smart - I just find it important to point out that the xAI guys spent a year

While I believe Grok was a decent model (in some of our internal use cases it performed the best until Gemini 2.5-pro came out), I can't help lament how the team chose to run. xAI (and Twitter) was the loudest about six-hour workdays,

My motivation for learning how to use agents has nothing to do with my ability. In fact I didn't think LLMs provided value for a very long time - the work I do tends to be embedded in nature ad LLMs were really bad at generating useful

This is something I've been thinking about as I start to adopt more agent-first coding. There is a real advantage to having good code especially when using agents. "Good Code" makes iteration faster, the agent is unlikely to
